Research Laboratory: Patrick M. Ghezzi, Ph.D., BCBA

Dr. Ghezzi's past and present research
and scholarship is diverse, ranging from laboratory, quasi-laboratory and naturalistic studies in operant and respondent conditioning with humans and
nonhumans to improving services and learning outcomes for young children with developmental disabilities. Although the latter area constitutes the bulk of
